The cord flattens quite well, and I have two lengths, one with Crox and one plain. So far so good, it seems to be doing the trick. it is however a bit of a challenge to strop on a 1/4 inch wide strop, so it may not not be for everyone, and I suspect that some blades will not like it at all. i've been using a bengalli square point, that is fairly heavy, so that may be why its working, or maybe it doesn't matter and that blade just keeps cutting no matter what I do.
input? thoughts? tar and feathers?
